I replaced both front and rear bearings for dryer tub now no

Customer Question

I replaced both front and rear bearings for dryer tub now no heat. Does door switch wiring have anything to do with heating element? Wires came off while repairing dryer and not sure if I got them back on correctly.

Hello, Thank you for using this service, I will be helping you with your problem today.. the door switch wont stop this from heating , if the dryer starts its hooked up right.by chance did you short the heating element ?

There was a ground strap that was replaced with the rear bearing assembly. Could that have been installed incorrectly? How would I know if heating element got shorted. Dryer was not plugged in during repairs. I carefully reinstalled it the same as it came off.

I cannot see any breaks or hot spots in element wires. Did find a wire not connected but I may have knocked it loose upon dissassembly. It fastens to what appears to be a relay. the wire is actually two wires on one female plugin. The 'relay' has several wires numbers 1 to 6. where this goes is #1. Is it possible to plug dryer in without fully assembling dryer to see if element heats up?

I went ahead and reassembled the dryer and turned it on. IT HAS HEAT!!! Thank you very much for leading me in the right direction. Sorry you have to work this weekend but I am so glad you were there. Have a good one!! Where do I go to rate you??
